Keep the volunteers you worked so hard to recruit.
Learn how intentional inservices and one‑on‑one
support can turn “revolving door” volunteers into a stable, committed hospice
team. If it feels like you’re losing volunteers as fast as you gain them, it
may be a sign they are not feeling fulfilled, supported, or growing in their
roles. This webinar will show volunteer managers how to use substantive ongoing
education, targeted coaching, and individualized retention plans to keep
volunteers engaged, confident, and connected to the mission.

WEBINAR DETAILS
If it feels like you’re losing volunteers as fast as you can get them, stop and take a look at what is going wrong. Volunteers may be leaving because they are not feeling fulfilled or engaged but never fret - there are many things we can do to keep volunteers excited and connected to this work. One way to retain good volunteers is through the provision of quality ongoing education. Another is by providing skillful and targeted coaching and guidance along the way. In this webinar, we’ll look closely at providing substantive inservices as well as how to create a retention plan for each volunteer that focuses on guiding them to achieve their desired goals.
